[2025 Tokyo Restaurant] Travel Guide for Rikyu (Updated Apr)

I'm tired from walking around the street, but I'm not very hungry after eating an ice cream During dinner time, I saw a lot of people queuing up at several restaurants. This beef tongue specialty shop also had a lot of people queuing up Had a thick sliced ​​beef tongue, a normal size beef tongue, a curry beef tongue ~ Regular size beef tongue even tastes better than thick cut beef tongue ~ The curry beef tongue is really colorful. The beef tongue is stewed very soft There are also appetizers, soups, and desserts Even the white rice is so delicious ~ 😋 great satisfaction ~ 👍🏻 #JapanTravel #TokyoFood #Beeftongue

After coming to Japan so many times, I finally completed one of the items on my food wish list. This time we went to Rikyu's Ikebukuro store. After we arrived, we waited in line for about half an hour because the place was full before it was finally our turn. As soon as we walked into the Rikyu Beef Tongue Specialty Store, the air was filled with the aroma of charcoal grilling, as if urging us to order food as soon as possible to satisfy our appetite. I ordered a signature thick-cut beef tongue set meal. When the hot beef tongue was served, the golden and crispy surface was shiny, and the cut surface was beautifully pink. The visual alone was exciting. I can't wait to pick up a piece and put it in my mouth. As soon as I put it in my mouth, I first feel the slightly crispy charcoal-roasted aroma of the outer layer, and then the unique chewiness and elasticity of the inside. Every time I chew it, the gravy slowly flows out, and at the same time there is a hint of salt and charcoal aroma. The thick cut has a solid and juicy texture, with just the right toughness. I can't help but take one bite after another. Add some beer and it's really great ✌️

This time we chose the branch located in the HIKARIE building in Shibuya, Tokyo. The mall is closed after 8pm, and you need to take the elevator next to it to go directly to the food floor. 🐮Beef tongue premium set ¥3,120 (6 pieces) The charcoal-grilled beef tongue set meal is generous in portion, including beef tongue, oxtail soup, rice, intestines, vegetables, pickles, etc. The beef tongue is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, thick and delicious, between crisp and soft, with juicy meat. Paired with fresh rice and miso soup, every bite makes people feel happy.

Restaurant: Rikyu Beef Tongue Address: 1-10-10 Chuo, Aoba-ku, Sendai City Specialties: Charcoal-grilled beef tongue, Yonezawa beef, Sendai beef Rating: 5/5 Comment: Rikyu Beef Tongue is a famous restaurant in Sendai, located in the Beef Tongue Street on the 3rd floor of Sendai Station. This is the oldest charcoal-grilled beef tongue restaurant in Japan and the head office of about 300 Rikyu branches across the country. Beef tongue is a very chewy meat that requires special knife skills and heat to be processed to maintain its tender and juicy taste. Here you can taste a variety of different parts and seasonings of beef tongue, such as salt, soy sauce, spicy, etc., and you can also pair it with high-quality Wagyu beef such as Yonezawa beef or Sendai beef to enjoy a hearty meat feast. If you like meat, I recommend you give it a try. It is a must-eat when traveling to Sendai. Off topic: The soup is really delicious! I took the photo so seriously but still can't select the best one🥹 #CoStudio #Good Food Places #Sendai #Japan #Tourist Restaurants #Delicious Food #Beef Tongue
